Is there a boost driver that can drive a string of 3 XML or 3 P7 to 2.8A or higher Running on 2 IMR Li-ion?



basically to boost from 8V to 12V while delivering 3Amp? 3x12=36,

36/8 = pulling 4.5 Amp from 8v battery.



Assume 80% efficiency, it'll pull 5.4Amp from two IMR together.

The battery 2xIMR AW 26500 should be perfect but does such a high current boost driver exist?



Looking for a way to Run Triple XML out of Mag 2C using 2xIMR.
 
I have not seen any 2.8A boost drivers since I was looking for them a while back to run 3 XM-L's. If they don't exist, perhaps a buck driver as the Taskled H6CC set to 6.7A and somehow having the leds in parallel for approx 2.2A each. The brightness may not suffer much and the leds will run cooler. The only questions are if the Mag case is wide enough to house the 1.25 inch diameter of the driver and if the batteries can handle the current without the protection circuit kicking in.
